Customer Reviews
A solid reel, but the drag is a drag.
Penn has made a very solid reel in the Slammer Series. However there is one design flaw, that depending on how you fish, might be a dealbreaker. I fish from the surf, not from a boat, and as a result my reels are often soaked by waves. The drag on the Penn Slammer, when it gets wet, becomes useless... basically it sticks to itself, then gets very loose, then sticks... not smooth like it operates when dry. As a result this reel is all but useless to me. Fishing from a boat, you may not have any issues with it at all. But for me, it's a dealbreaker.
Amazon price too high.
Price is $129 on most sites. $139 is not a bargain.
